STAY JOYFUL

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! - Philippians 4:4 NIV

Beloved, are you staying joyful? We should be joyful despite what is going on in our society today. Why? The Bible says "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(Colossians 3:1 ESV)

Remember, in Christ, Jesus is the head, and we, the church, the body. So when the verse says "seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God", He is talking about Jesus and us. The Spirit is reminding us who we are and where we are seated ( Ephesians 2:6)

Beloved, do you want to stay joyful?, view this world and its circumstances from the throne not by the standards of this world, View the world from the mountaintop where Jesus placed us and not from the valley where our circumstances are subjecting us.

Let us view this world as kings and victors not as slaves and victims. "The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

(Romans 8:15 NIV)

BLESSED ARE YOU GOD THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR CHILDREN ABOVE ALL OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, WE ARE JOYFUL, PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED IS YOUR NAME FOREVER!

THANK YOU JESUS!
